Sweden blocks CGG Entertainment over unlicensed online gambling activities
CGG Entertainment Ltd, a Cyprus-based company operating the website cases.gg, offers users the chance to enter lotteries for physical goods or buy âmystery boxesâ that can result in either losing their stake or winning a prize.
An inquiry by Swedenâs gambling regulator, Spelinspektionen, found that the platform was unlawfully targeting Swedish players without the necessary local licence.
According to the regulator, when accessed via a Swedish IP address, the site displayed text in Swedish and featured a Swedish flag â clear indications of its intent to reach Swedish users.
As a result, Spelinspektionen has issued a firm prohibition preventing CGG Entertainment Ltd from offering its gaming services within Sweden.
CGG Entertainment mentioned:
The company states that they intend to comply with Swedish legislation and has as a measure blocked all Swedish users from the platform, as well as card payments from Sweden.
The Swedish Gambling Authority noted that a follow-up inspection, conducted after its initial warning, showed that the website continued to display Swedish language and references â actions in direct violation of national gambling regulations.
Sweden has been intensifying efforts to raise its channelisation rate â the proportion of gambling conducted through licensed operators â to 90%.
However, a report published in early September 2025 estimated the rate at roughly 85%, indicating that around 15% of online gambling still occurs via unlicensed platforms.
This shortfall has sparked ongoing debate between industry stakeholders and government bodies over how best to boost player migration toward the regulated market.
